HALF PAST TIPSY didn't convince with her stamina over a longer trip here last month and appeals most back over 2m having been given a chance by the handicapper. Sharetheknowledge shaped better than his finishing position suggests at Cork, where he went with zest until tiring. Having needed that run following a break, he should be sharper over the shorter trip and may prove next best. Splendid Choice has shown consistent form with a win at Wexford in May and should be competitive here.
